STEWARDSHIP
“Jesus summoned them and said to them, ‘You know
that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their
authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among
you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you
will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among
you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not
come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a
ransom for many.’ "
Mark 10: 42-45
Jesus was a man of great humility. It is this humility to
which we need to strive. This is not simple in the society in which we live. However, as the noted author and
apologist, C.S. Lewis, once said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” That
is our tribulation as Christian stewards: to put others
before ourselves both in reality and in our hearts. With
God all things are possible. — See more at

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY COLLECTION
Today is World Mission Sunday! In Scripture, we read
that St. Paul asked the Gentile Churches to take up a
collection to support the Church in Jerusalem. Now we
are asked to reach out and support the young churches throughout our world. Your prayers and generous
gifts to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in
the collection today will help missionaries offer the poor
of these areas practical help as they share the mercy
of God. It will ensure the development of local dioceses, and support the work of priests, religious and lay
leaders who serve those on the margins and in most
need. Go out to the whole world through your gift in
today’s collection!

CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER 2015
ADULT FAITH FORMATION
REFLECTION ON THE TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME , YEAR B
This Sunday’s readings throw a significant lens on
what discipleship involves, what leadership entails and
what role suffering plays in both. Today we learn from
Jesus that discipleship involves a willingness to suffer
for others, while true leadership entails lives of service.
Jesus incarnates these lessons in his own life,
especially in his dealing with others.
For such lessons to become integral parts of our
lives of discipleship complete trust in God is essential.
The refrain from responsorial Psalm 33 invites us to
call upon the Lord’s mercy with complete trust: “Lord
Let your mercy be on us as we place our trust in you.”
Beginning with trust in God’s faithful love and mercy,
every disciple ventures out in service of others, ready
and willing to handle the many difficulties that arise
whenever we deal with each other and with life.
The first reading comes from Isaiah’s fourth
servant song which speaks of God’s servant, Israel,
suffering in Babylonia for the sake of being faithful to
the Lord. Isaiah consoles the Babylonian captives that
their suffering is not in vain. God, the giver of life, will
bring about new life and meaning from Israel’s
suffering. God’s people, in their willingness to suffer,
will see long life and God’s will accomplished through
them.
Through such suffering, the Lord’s servant will
“justify many” and bear their guilt. The suffering
servant will be the occasion for new life and meaning
for all God’s people. Such an insight can only surface
from one who places complete trust in God’s mercy,
kindness and fidelity. The followers of Jesus
understood Jesus to be the suffering servant of God,
whose willingness to give of himself completely for
others brings about new life and meaning for all.
The letter to the Hebrews offers Jesus as the model
and hope to those who struggle with their lives of
discipleship and service. Being fully human Jesus can
sympathize with our weaknesses because Jesus was
tested in every way that we are, “yet without sin.” Our
relationship to Jesus gives us confidence to approach
God, ever mindful of God’s mercy and ever trustful in
God’s love. In the midst of struggles
and suffering, we can and do find timely
help from our loving God.
Mark 8:22-10:51 is the heart of the
gospel, with each passage offering
important lessons in the school of discipleship. Jesus
talks three times about his passion, death and
resurrection, each time in more graphic detail than the
previous.
Each
time,
the
disciples
clearly
misunderstand or refuse to acknowledge that
discipleship in not for glory, status and prestige, but for
service, which entails struggle and suffering.
Today’s gospel is the last of the three
misunderstandings by the disciples. Jesus has just
spoken for the third time about his suffering and death.
In response, all that James and John can think of is
their status and privilege. The other disciples are
indignant at them, not because they asked but rather
for having beaten the rest of them to the punch. Jesus
knows that it is time for another lesson in discipleship.
Jesus first challenges James and John with the
same cup of suffering he is about to drink, namely his
passion and death. They readily agree that they can
walk that path with him. Jesus, realizing how little all of
them actually understand the demands of discipleship,
speaks to them in paradoxes. If you want to be first, be
the slave of all. If you want to be great, be the servant
of all. Disciples, like Jesus, are to be people who are
willing to serve others, even to the point of giving one’s
life.

BIBLE STUDY AND SUNDAY READINGS
Catholics are mostly exposed to the Bible through the
Sunday Lectionary Readings. In order to help us all
enter into the Bible through the Sunday readings, we
are offering study sessions that will provide an
opportunity to read, to study background to the
readings, and to reflect on how to apply the readings to
our lives. We will gather on October 25th at
10:30am. All are welcome. Bring a Bible and a friend.
To register for these sessions, please call Biagio at

meetings and will be available on the website. Come
hungry and ready to have some fun getting to know each

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
We want to make all parishioners aware that the Belton Code of Ordinances
states that nowhere within the city are people allowed
to “beg” or ask for money. If someone asks you for
money in our parking lot when you come to attend
Mass, please direct them to any staff member at that
Mass, or to the parish office during office hours, rather
than giving them money. A staff member is present
after every Mass for any questions or concerns. You
can find us in the South Alcove of the Gathering
Space. We will direct them to the appropriate resources.

El Salvador during their Civil War. As of now we are
planning to travel to El Salvador on January 5 and
staying approximately 8 days. If you are interested or
would like more information, please contact Kris at 816

CHANGING HABITS:WILLPOWER
We tend to think of willpower as something that can
be depleted. But a growing body of research
suggests that isn’t so and that we may, in fact, have
control over our self-control. In a Stanford University
study, participants were prompted to regard
willpower as either limited or limitless, and then
asked to complete a cognitively challenging task.
The result: Those who believed willpower was
unlimited performed better on a subsequent test of
self-control than people who thought the opposite.
The next time you worry about your willpower not
being up to the task, just remember, that belief is
just in your mind. Go ahead and follow through with
what you value. That’s when your life comes into full
alignment with what’s really, really important to you.

las Misiones! En las escrituras, leímos que San Pablo, les
pidió a las gentiles iglesias que realizaran una colecta

solicitan que apoyemos a las iglesias jóvenes de todo el
mundo. Tus plegarias y regalos generosos a la Sociedad
para la Propagación de la Fe en la colecta de hoy,
ayudarán a los misioneros a ofrecer a los pobres de
estas áreas, ayuda práctica mientras comparten la
piedad del Señor. Asegurará el desarrollo de diócesis
locales, y apoyará el trabajo de curas, religiosos y líderes
laicos que sirven a los marginados y los mas
necesitados. ¡Sal al mundo entero a través de tu regalo
en la colecta de hoy!

durante las horas de oficina, en lugar de darle dinero. Un miembro del personal está presente en cada
Misa para cualquiera pregunta o duda nos puede
encontrar en el lado sureño del Espacio de Reunión.
Nosotros lo dirigiremos a los recursos adecuados.

INTENCIONES DE LA MISA
Es una antigua costumbre (que data los tiempos del
Antiguo Testamento) orar por los que han muerto.
La Iglesia sigue esta costumbre, sobre todo cuando
se celebra la Eucaristía. Además de oración por todos los difuntos, una intención particular puede ser
incluida por el sacerdote para una o más personas a
solicitud de cualquier persona. Esa persona puede
ofrecer una donación (sugerido $10). Dicha ofrenda
tradicionalmente se ha proporcionado para el apoyo
del clero. En nuestra diócesis, el clero decidió hace
años para todas las misas que las remuneraciones
se entregaran a la parroquia. Si usted desea ofrecer
una Misa para uno de sus seres queridos, por favor
comuníquese con Zuiri en la oficina parroquial.
